New year, new me?
If procrastination or inconsistency has put a damper on your fitness journey in 2024, it’s time to start fresh. It’s human nature for plans to fall through, but we always come back stronger. A new year is a new beginning, so it’s time to get back on your feet and adopt healthy habits. Exercise not only improves your physical health, it also improves your mental health. A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open found that even the simplest daily steps can reduce symptoms of depression and lift your mood. This proves that exercise is more holistic than just toning your body, as it significantly improves your overall swelling.
Lace up your sneakers, roll out your yoga mat, hit the gym, or do whatever it takes to move your body and burn calories. Small, consistent efforts lead to big changes over time. It will take some time, so please be patient. This year, make your fitness journey a commitment to becoming healthier and happier.
